    MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

    This Customer Agreement and Trading Authorization is made and entered into as of the date set forth at the

    end of this Agreement by and between Diamond Capital Management, (Diamond), and the undersigned

    customer(s). This agreement is entered into based upon the following representations:

    The client represents the he/she has speculative capital for the principal purpose of investing in options on

    futures and futures contracts and has been informed and is fully cognizant of the possible high risks

    associated with such investments.

    IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED THAT:

    The client shall deposit the sum set forth at the end of this Agreement in a commodity trading accountestablished and maintained with the futures commission merchant (FCM) named at the end of this

    Agreement.

    The Advisor will trade options on futures and futures contracts and will have the exclusive authority to issue

    all necessary instructions to the Broker. All such transactions shall be for the account and risk of the Client.

    The Advisor will seek capital appreciation in the Clients Account by trading speculatively in options on

    futures and futures.

    This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated by the receipt of written notice of either party to theother. All such notices will become effective within 15 business days once acknowledged by the Advisor.

    The Advisor or Client may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon such notice. Upon termination of

    this Agreement, open positions held by an account will be closed as promptly as possible subsequent to theacknowledgment of the request.

    The Advisors recommendations and authorizations shall be for the Account and risk of the Client. The

    Advisor makes no guarantee that any of its services will result in a profit to the Client. The Client has

    discussed the risks of futures trading with the FCM and understands those risks. The Client assumes the

    responsibility of losses that may be incurred.

    The Client agrees to execute a Limited Trading Authorization and Power of Attorney with his/her FCMauthorizing the Advisor to enter orders for Commodity Interests for the Clients Account.

    The Client recognizes that the Advisor will transmit orders on the Clients behalf to the FCM but will not

    directly execute such orders. The Advisor shall not be responsible for any acts, omissions, or errors of the

    FCM or any other executing broker in executing such orders.

    The Client acknowledges that the Advisors strategies and trades constitute proprietary data belonging to the

    Advisor and agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates will disseminate any confidential information

    regarding any of the foregoing, except as required by law, and any such information as may be acquired by

    The Client agrees to authorize payments from the Clients Account to the Advisor in compensation for

    services as set forth in this agreement.

    The Client acknowledges that he has read a copy of the Advisors most current Disclosure Document,including the Risk Disclosure Statement. The Advisor makes no guarantee that any of its services will resultin a gain for the Client. The Advisor will not be liable to the Client or to others except by reason of actsconstituting willful malfeasance or gross negligence as to its duties herein, and disclaims any liability for

    human or machine errors in orders to trade or not to trade Commodity Interests.

    In the event that any provisions of this Agreement are invalid for any reason whatsoever, all other conditions

    and provisions of the Agreement shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect.

    The Client will pay the Advisor as compensation for advisory services a quarterly management and a

    quarterly incentive fee mutually agreed upon and set forth at the end of this Agreement. The Advisor will

    bill all fees with the billing sent directly to the FCM to be paid out of the Clients account. The Advisor

    reserves the right to negotiate different fees for different clients and to share any portion of these fees withthird parties in accordance with regulatory and industry standards. The quarterly management and quarterlyincentive fees are calculated and defined as follows:

    Quarterly Management Fees

    Diamond Capital Management will charge a quarterly management fee. The management fee will be

    accrued monthly as a percentage of the Net Asset Value of the clients account at the end of each month.

    The management fee will be calculated prior to any incentive fee being subtracted from the account. If a

    client withdraws from the Program on a date other than at the end of a quarter, management fees will becalculated and billed as if such termination were the end of the month and pro-rated to the number of months

    actually traded in that quarter. Where an account is partially funded, the quarterly management fee shall be

    taken as a percentage of the accounts nominal size, defined as the dollar amount that the Advisor and itsclients have agreed in writing will determine the level of trading in an account regardless of the actual assetson deposit with the FCM.

    Quarterly Incentive Fee

    The quarterly incentive fee is taken as a percentage of New Net Trading Profits. New Net Trading Profits are

    computed using the formula: (1) gross realized profit and loss during the period plus (2) the change in net

    unrealized profit and loss on open positions as of the end of the period, minus (1) all brokerage commissions

    and transaction fees and charges paid or accrued during the period and (2) cumulative net loss, if any, carriedover from other periods. The carryover of previous loss makes certain that incentive fees are paid only on

    the cumulative increases in the net gains of an account. It should be noted that the full loss is not carried overthe next quarter in an instance where there has been a partial withdrawal of funds. In such a case, the portion

    of the loss attributable to the withdrawn amount is first subtracted from the carryover loss. In addition, if an

    account does not have New Net Trading Profits in a given quarter, no incentive fee will be due to the Advisor

    unless and until the account experiences New Net Trading Profits in a subsequent quarter. The amount of theincentive fee due to the Advisor, if any, will be determined independently with respect to each quarter, and

    the amount of any such fee paid will not be affected by subsequent losses experienced in a participating

    customers account. Incentive Fees will be accrued monthly, subject to reversal in the event of trading losses

    prior to the end of a calendar quarter. In the event of a withdrawal other than as of a quarter-end, any

    accrued Incentive Fees with respect to such redeemed assets will be paid to Diamond as if such date ofwithdrawal were a quarter-end.

    By depositing funds with the FCM, the Client acknowledges and accepts the propriety of the Advisors

    trading program and his suitability to bear economic risk of loss in commodity trading in Commodity

    Interests.
